“Lego felt tip 110″ printer connected to an Apple Mac. Adam designed/built/coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver, the USB interface uses a “wiring” board.
Some FAQs:
Track name?
“Christopher and Raphael just popper Shinichi Osawa distortion disco edit”
PPM? Pages per minute?
Not even 1! I sped things up a little in the video editing to keep it interesting to watch
Helvetica?
Yes of course, my respect to those who noticed
Open source, schematics etc?
Yes, I’ll try to get around to this soon. Unfortunately I’m pretty busy at work at moment and documenting this project to a good standard will take a while. Sorry
Wrote your own driver?
Yes, uses standard Mac OS print mechanism.
Mac vs PC abuse?
Video not meant as a Mac advert and I’m sorry if the Apple logo offends anyone. I just find them easier to use.
Felt tip damage drying up?
Yes, this is a problem, but one felt tip usually lasts for quite a few pages.
Felt tip auto-capping?
Nope, sorry.
